Summary​
Experienced 2D Artist with nearly 5 years on a high-quality AAA mobile project (iOS & Android). I thrive in
teams that build ambitious games with creativity, care, and strong collaboration. I’m looking to join a
passionate team where I can keep growing, share my experience, and contribute to games made with
purpose and creative vision. I love designing new worlds, characters, their relationships, and lore. My
adaptability and attention to detail have allowed me to contribute beyond my core responsibilities —
from mentoring four fellow artists to helping streamline workflows. I combine strong artistic skills with
flexibility and fast adaptation to evolving pipelines. When assigned a task, you can expect consistent,
high-quality results in the established visual style.

Professional Experience​

Nordcurrent (4y 8m) — Junior 2D Artist → Middle 2D Artist → Senior 2D Artist​
Murder by Choice — Hidden Object game for IOS and Android​
I started as a Junior Artist and grew into a Senior 2D Artist. I worked on all stages of comic creation,
from drafts and script-based sketching to final rendering. I also designed game icons, UI elements, and
character concepts, and updated hidden object scenes (HO), close-ups (CU), and environment ​
locations. Additionally, I developed banners and offers, and created several early-stage frame-by-frame
animations. As a Middle Artist, I mentored four team members by regularly reviewing their comic work
and offering constructive feedback. I introduced workflow optimizations that increased production
speed and quality, while ensuring consistency in the visual narrative. My strong collaboration with the
team included regular meetings and retrospectives, where I also offered guidance on broader
art-related tasks.
